I ordered from Gopandy.com after being badly let down by another supplier. How I wish that I had known about this company first ,I ordered this Thursday afternoon got an e-mail confirming then later in the day another telling me it would arrive sometime Friday within a one hour time frame.Early Friday morning I received sms text telling me when to expect the delivery, it arrived half way into the allotted time, was well packaged and included everything stated. I will use this company again without hesitation, the service I received was first class.

Love this midi kb. The pads are great (much better than the old version) the controls map correctly in Studio One with no adjustments which I really like. VSTs are a different story. Very happy with this item.
